Today’s Mixed Media Watermelon craft idea is something I came up with for young toddlers in mind. I know sometimes our crafts on Glued To My Crafts can be a bit “difficult” for younger ones, so I made it my mission to add a little bit of easier tutorials for them to recreate this summer, as well!
This goal is starting today with this EASY cardstock mixed media craft!!! It’s got a total of FIVE supplies and the steps are very basic! In the end, they will have a piece that “looks” like a watermelon.
To recreate this Mixed Media Watermelon craft, you will need TWO sheets of cardstock {one green/one pink} a pair of scissors, glue stick and either a black ink pad or black craft paint w/a paper plate. Baby wipes are ALSO highly encouraged for easy cleanup along the way!
So ready for the steps? Don’t blink – it goes quick!
Simply trim down the pink cardstock {maybe an inch off one side and the top} so it fits inside the green cardstock and gives the appearance of the a watermelon.
Glue the newly cut pink cardstock piece to the center of the green cardstock.
Now grab your black ink pad or black craft paint. Have children make “fingerprints” all over, for the watermelon seeds inside the pink cardstock piece. Use the baby wipes for easy cleanup.
And that’s it!!! Let it dry completely before you display proudly. Of course – repeat over and over again!
